Not sure what that means, but I'm guessing that it aint good.ajfoxy wrote: I think my missus would have spat the dummy long before I got to that stage of the build if I had tried that...![]()
I'm a few days behind on this thread but it sounds like exactly the same thing I did on my mini build wbegg.wbegg wrote:Did a mock-up of FB to frame today, and really glad I did. I found 1 piece of tubing I welded in the wrong place (The one that supports the diffuser). What a PITA. Cut out old part, ground down, and go it in the right place now.
Good point. I may put the other two swivels on.ajfoxy wrote:That is looking good. Nice wheels too. And there's nothing wrong with four swivel wheels. Sometimes you need to manoever into a tight spot and four swivels allows you to. Two swivel and two fixed make it a multi point turn... just saying...
So I bought a 30" $58 break from Harbor Freight, and that 16 gauge metal laughed at it. I ended up doing as you did - 2 pieces welded together. You were right. Much easier and turned out fine.Squiggle wrote:I put a flat bottom on & the welded in another piece for the slope, much easier!
That's a Bobby Dazzler! Good on ya, Mate!ajfoxy wrote:I must admit it I took the easy way out. It looked way too hard to do it in pieces. I stumped up for a finger brake capable of bending 2 mm along its length and bent the cook chamber sides. Then bent the floor and lid and fitted them and welded it up like that. Although the way you are doing it makes for good welding practice. I'm just a lazy bugger and my excuse is I need to purchase some tools now while I am still earning before I retire. Hey, I'm sticking to that excuse it has worked so far.
